Garages are harsh environments for model railroads. Having said that, there are plenty of people who make them work despite dirt, dust, and temperature extremes. I would like to suggest that you look at alternatives to the good old 4x8. If you are searching for a way to incorporate a layout into your home, there are other ways: - shelf - either along one wall, or around the walls (higher up to avoid existing furniture, etc.) - modular - can be set up or stored away as space permits. You can also take them somewhere else to run (our local club has great setups one weekend every month. See www.hotrak.ca ). The only (well, not the ONLY) reason to have a 4x8 in HO is to get continuous running. If you don't mind switching, or running point to point, you might find that there are other ways to fit the layout inside the house... Good luck. Andrew
